Staging Tips for Home Sellers

A clean and de-cluttered house helps a buyer mentally “move in” and see themselves living in your home. Here are some recommendations for cleaning and decluttering your home prior to a photo session and/or photo shoot. Do what you can - every little thing helps!

Interior

Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house.

Keep accessories and objects on furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3, or 5 items.

Many times home owners have too much furniture in a room. Rearrange or remove furniture as needed - it will make the rooms appear larger.

If possible, use the garage as a temporary holding area for furniture and objects - I typically won’t shoot garages.

Clean windows will let in more light and make for better photos and video. At the very least, I recommend cleaning the kitchen, dining room, and living room windows.
